HM Lending in Texas

[Spencer Owens]

I'm looking to expand into the Texas market as a hard money lender with 7+ years experience in AZ. Any advice on acquiring necessary lending licenses? Loans will only be made on commercial property or on residences acquired for the purpose of "fix and flip". Absolutely NO Owner Occupied loans will be extended. Some states still require licensure, others don't. Is anyone familiar with Texas laws? I thought I'd try here before paying an attorney $500/hour to tell me what others already know. Thanks in advance!!
